Texas Football: The Dream Games You Want To See
Introducing the Texas Football Dream Schedule Series
Texas Football has an impressive non-conference schedule in upcoming seasons. But, what if Texas could add some more dream games to their schedule?
The upcoming slate starts in 2017 with a trip to USC, followed by a home date with USC in 2018. Then, Texas has a home-and-home series with LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, and South Florida (the new home of Charlie Strong).
Texas just wrapped a series against Notre Dame that would have topped our list. And, the upcoming series against USC will stir the echoes of the epic 2006 Rose Bowl BCS Title game.
There are some other big games out there that will probably only happen in a bowl game. But, let’s dream a little about the Longhorns in some epic home-and-home showdowns.
